What this means for our customers Secretary Hegseth has implied this designation would restrict anyone who does business with the military from doing business with Anthropic. The Secretary does not have the statutory authority to back up this statement. Legally, a supply chain risk designation under 10 USC 3252 can only extend to the use of Claude as part of Department of War contracts—it cannot affect how contractors use Claude to serve other customers.

shorter Anthropic: lol fuck you, you’re way out over your skis and we’re going to beat your asses in court

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s “misplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Ilhan Omar to Trump: "You Have Killed Americans" A tense exchange during a remarkably racist portion of the president's State of the Union address.

Rep. Omar continues the yearly tradition of someone interrupting the State of the Union by yelling something true and accurate at Trump: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line

well I’m watching this and my husband is helping the four year-old and her crew of stuffed pigs travel through distant galaxies in the Enterprise before bed and it’s very clear who is winning this evening

The fact military leaders didn't insist these honors be presented in a strictly non-partisan ceremony is frightening.

Trump takes credit for lower crime rates in Washington, DC after sending federal troops last year.

Fact check: Since peaking in 2023, D.C. violent crime fell in 2024, before Trump took office, and has continued to fall at similar rates before and after federal intervention.

Is this a state of the union address or two hours of Trump graphically describing violent crimes?

this must be the most descriptions of blood gushing in any state of the union address by a wide margin

trump is calling for banning congressional stock trading, but he leaves out the key detail: the reason there's a standstill right now is democrats want it to apply to trump and the white house, but trump issued a veto threat over that.

Walked out of the State of the Union because I couldn’t sit through hours of Trump’s lies.

Americans know the truth: he’s spiking prices and wrecking our economy.

We’re a better country than this.

Don't really care for using the MoH as a partisan prop ngl

Talib and Omar walked out.

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib heckle Trump as he goes full fear-mongering white nationalist

Three predictions for tonight: Trump will
(1)claim more are working even though the percent employed is lower
(2) claim he solved inflation even though the rate remains too high and people continue to be frustrated at price levels
(3) lean heavily into hate to remind people who "the real enemy is"

Look at Space Force! It's my baby!
